| Congrates for such a nice execution. Perfectly shot with good splash of cream. The grey part over the cream nearby the cup is somewhat distracting but overall it's a very well done shot. Regards, |

Greetings from the CRITIQUE CLUB!
The photo has a nice overall feeling to it. This kind of shot is very classic and, although has been done many times before with all sorts of variations, always achieves to provoque a dynamic and spectacular effect when well done. I believe yours is successful as well in that department. The red of the strawberry in contrast with the greys that surrounds it adds to the dramatic effect and the splash of the milk has been captured very nicelly.
Technically, the high quantity of grain in the grey areas in and around the cup is more distracting than not. The same thing happens in the dark areas of the milk. It's hard to tell if it's due to the JPG compression, to the act of desaturating all colors except the reds, or to the camera. At ISO 100, I don't think the camera would create such a high grain, but then again, I am not familiar with the DSC-F707.
Visually, the cropping well executed. The choice of angle seems to work well. The choice of emplacement for the handle in the overall composition is questionable. It does seem to work, but seems to distract a littlebit. Rotating the cup ust alittlebit to the left might have solved this, or hiding the handle in the back. Don't take my word for it though because this particular comment may be related to my personal taste only.
Good work. Well done. Well executed. It's really too bad about the high grain and the jagged edges around the cup. This detail really takes away from the visual impact of your shot. |

| Overall a well-done shot that's hard to pull off. I'm not sure if I like the way the colors were desaturated as it left the shot a little "chunky" but it's still a nice effort. |

| An excellent Splash, right up to Jacko standards :-) Great detail, a tad too noisy maybe? |

Not again!!! ; )
This is very well shot. The shape given to the splash by the strawberry works well and the capture is perfect.
Unfortunately the inside of the splash looks over-processed and unatural which takes away from the shot a bit. |

| Is this jacko again? Good shot but not quite sharp. |

| A different color background would set cup off nicely. |

| hehe, another splash! I do so enjoy the splashes. Improvements. I would have prefered this if it didn't have the other strawberry in there, and if the background colour was more appealing. There's a certain graininess to it, but that doesn't matter to me. Well done, you captured the splash well! High marks from me :) |

This is a strange photo....I had to look at it a few times as I was almost certain you had Photoshopped the shadow in....but you didn't :)
WOW! This is a very, very cool photo. It almost doesn't look real (and that really adds to the photo). Good job :) |

| A hard shot to get - I've done it, myself. Some people will mark you down because they're tired of "splash shots" but I believe a good one is deserving of a good score. The one thing I'd change is the extra berry peeking out from behind the splash. But other than that, it's quite good. Nice, crisp whites, a beautiful splash and perfect timing. 8 |

| Pretty good. You really tweaked something because it's caused a distortion of the coloring in the main splash. |
